wilson. we didn't see chuck smu mere and nancy pelosi off the top of this ad. i don't think this ad was creat ed as a direct response to everything that was going on with the man forth 2k50eu789s and everything like that. it's only a day lead time, but i don't think it's coincidence that the messaging of the ad a democrat's fault that there have been no significant legislative achievements which is the same that has been coming out of the man forth. croc ed hillary and the democrats. his last tweet about the indictment mentioned check the democrats. so we hey this messaging that he is specifically go after the democrats and saying it's their pawlt, not mine. i don't think the ad was created as a direct response to the man forth indictment or to even distract from it, but i is not a coincidence that the messaging is the same. what about the timing? is this the right time for an ad like that in it we see this image as the president appears to be l taller than everyone else. he is a big than ma? a. i know he is a big man. it says he's the one who is going to fix t

nancy pelosi. leader pelosi, i have to get your comments on these attacks on a member of your caucus, frederica wilson, including this morning. what is going on here? what do you think of? >> as you know, the president is the deflector in chief. we would like to talk about what he's doing to the middle class in terms of the tax bill and he wants to deflect the conversation from that. let me say, though, on this sunday morning how sad we are about the four young men that lost their lives in niger. let me say about frederica. frederica is just a wonderful person, so for the attack to be on anybody inappropriately as wrong, and frederica has had role models of excellence. johnson was one and she was close to him as he was growing up. since the kidnapping of the girls by boko haram, every wednesday we are dressed in red and photographing we are not forgetting our girls. she's really dedicated and devoted to young people. for them to mischaracterize her is really so sad. it really -- it went young the subject, and that was so sad enough and to mischaracterize her speech at the building of the fbi dedicatio

president trump attacked wilson, who criticized his call to the widow of sergeant johnson, insisting she lied about what he said. let's begin tonight about what we know, nancy, about the mission there. just a few weeks ago, most americans didn't even know we had u.s. forces in africa, fighting isis. now u.s. service members have been killed. what is our mission in niger? >> so there are about 800 troops in niger itself. and this mission is part of an effort to train their nigerian counterparts against a multiple number of threats. there are various jihadist groups, for control of snuggling routes. so the goal is to create a force that can contain that threat and stop the expansion of islamic jihaddist groups in that territory. >> nbc is reporting that there was a massive intelligence failure in this operation. >> well, one of the challenges is that the u.s. is depending on nigerian forces. and the nigerian forces are compromised. some are demoralized. some are using these smuggling routes themselves. and the villagers will tell you that they are fearful to provide information to those sources, because those forces leave at night. the jihadi groups do not. s
